PINE BLUFF, Ark. - A convicted murderer serving a 240-month sentence at the Arkansas Department of Corrections' Pine Bluff Unit reportedly walked away from his work assignment Saturday evening.
Shea Wilson with ADC said Timothy Buffington, 47 (pictured above), is said to be 5'6" and about 182 pounds, with a scar on his upper left arm and his right wrist.
Buffington had been considered a trusty inmate. Wilson said he had no previous record of escapes in 15 years behind bars.
He is said to have shot his ex-wife Rhonda Combs in the head with a rifle while she sat in her boyfriend's truck in Booneville in July of 1998. Combs and Buffington had been in a custody dispute over their two children. According to Wilson, he was admitted to ADC on March 12, 1999.
Preliminary investigation released by ADC on Tuesday shows that Buffington broken into a safe room that Saturday at a house located on prison grounds and obtained a shotgun. According to Wilson, the door was dead-bolted, but he managed to kick the doorframe out.
She said Buffington was doing yard and janitorial work at the house. Jefferson County Sheriff's Official officials told THV11 on Sunday night that they believed he was armed with a backpack of ammo in addition to the shotgun.
According to Wilson, he confronted a woman who lives at the home, and attempted to have her drive him off the prison grounds, but she was able to get away.
